AI Safety Policy & Operations (AI)

TL;DR

AI Safety Policy & Operations (AI): Designing and evolving safety policies for AI audio, image, video, and agentic systems with an accent on global regulatory alignment and automation. Focus on building AI-powered systems for detection and moderation, and integrating safety into the product development lifecycle.

Location: This role is remote and can be executed globally. However, to facilitate working with the Safety team, we prefer candidates based in GMT to GMT+3 or UK. If you prefer, you can work from our offices in Dublin or London.

Company

hirify.global is a research and product company defining the frontier of audio AI, aiming to build the most important audio AI platform in the world.

What you will do

• Design and evolve safety policies for audio AI, image/video AI and agentic safety, aligned with global regulatory developments (ISO42001, EU AI Act, DSA, US state laws).
• Build scalable, AI-powered systems and workflows that dramatically reduce response times and increase policy coverage.
• Partner with Safety Engineers to translate policy requirements into automated detection, moderation, and enforcement systems.
